Lesley Nason

Ceramics

Using porcelain clay Lesley creates contemporary wall art, hand built decorative vessels and jewellery inspired by the beauty of the British countryside and the flora and fauna surrounding her home in South Derbyshire.

Her work uses the technique of engraved surface texture and hand drawn images into the soft clay, making each piece unique.

Following a bisque firing, oxide, resist and crackle glaze are carefully applied to specific areas of the design, to give contrast and definition to the piece, then a final kiln firing to 1250 degrees.

Lesley supplies many galleries throughout the UK from Cornwall to the northern most Scottish Islands and has exhibited at many of the UK’s top ceramic fairs including Art in Clay, Oxford Ceramic Fair and Earth & Fire.
